==Overview==
Blockate came back on September 30th, 2019, which lead to the Halloween Event Submissions to be extended to the 15th of October.
[[Blockate]] was put under review by Roblox administrators on the {{date|month=9|day=18|year=2019}}. This is known as the 2019 shutdown. Blockate came back on {{date|month=10|day=1|year=2019}}. This was caused due to many users putting Discord server invite links in their worlds, and creating inappropriate builds.
